How do you preserve your signature on an acoustic guitar?

To preserve that cherished autograph on your guitar, you should follow these steps:

1. Sand the surface around the signatures.
2. Remove excess dust.
3. Spray the surface with an adhesion promoter.
4. Apply a layer of acrylic clear coat.
5. Coat with a solvent-based clear lacquer to finish it off.

How do you protect an autographed guitar?

Spray a fine mist of acrylic clear coat over the autographed area. One coat of the protective spray will work fine. Allow the clear coat to dry before playing or moving the guitar. If the guitar has already been signed with a permanent marker or sharpie, use a clear nitrocellulose lacquer to preserve the signature.

How do you keep an autograph from fading?

Whether displayed or stored, keep the autograph away from direct sun. Even lamps and overhead lights can cause fading. The piece should be stored or displayed in a room that has consistent humidity and temperature. If you do not display the item, purchase archival tissue paper to wrap the fabric.

Will Sharpie stay on a guitar?

a sharpie is good for writing on acoustic guitars, I used it on mine, and it worked fine and didn't rub off.
